Why we have too few women leaders – Sheryl Sandberg

Women are not making it to the top in any of the professions, worldwide. This is a problem worldwide. Here’s Sheryl Sandberg taking the stage at TED and putting forward some really powerful figures and data. The data has proved and in a way, given a clear hint for the reason why women are actually not making it to the top. Even the women who are shouldering lesser responsibilities for example, unmarried women, are not getting what the men of their age and qualification are getting.
Women can only help themselves, nobody else can. This is such an empowering video; Sheryl has spoken as a field worker and a mother too. Every woman needs to watch this and understand that only she can do good to herself and only then there can be a betterment in the situation.

Women, you should believe in the success you achieve. Trust, that the success you’ve got is because of you, and not because you just got lucky or someone just helped. No! Just get that straight. Why do men behave differently? Whatever the reason may be, when men achieve success,

She speaks about some very important steps that women today need to take for creating a successful life with great confident. Here are those little secret steps:

Sit at the table

Make your partner a real partner

Don’t leave before you leave

You need to feel that you deserve it, you deserve that success. Tell that to yourself. Men are reaching out for more opportunities, and that’s the only reason they are getting it. If women start to look for great opportunities and grab them at the right time, they’ll definitely get them. That is the only thing stopping them.

Sometime, or maybe all the time, we tell our boys to have a better job, get a better salary, buy a better house and live a better life. We never tell our girls to do so. The day we start telling our girls to be better, we’ll see the change.
